Cookies, Web Beacons, and Third Party Advertisers
AutomotiveMileposts.com uses cookies to deliver content specific to your
interests. For instance, the AUTOPOSTS Classic Car Forum provided by this
site uses cookies as a means to maintain the logged in status of members,
and to support other forum software requirements, such as remembering your
personal preferences. Registration is required if you wish to post a new
message or reply to an existing message on the forum. However, the forum
and its content are viewable without registration. (See Public Forums below for cautions on posting in public forums.)
We use cookies to store information when you visit our site. For example,
a cookie could allow us to show you a particular advertisement just once
per visit, or it could provide you with the ability to login to some of
our site features, such as our forum.
We utilize third party advertising on AutomotiveMileposts.com to support
our site. Some of these advertisers may use technology including cookies
and web beacons, which allows these advertisers to obtain information about
you, including your IP address, your ISP, the browser you used to visit
our site, and in some cases, whether you have Flash installed. This information
is generally used for geotargeting purposes (showing ads specific to a
certain city or state), or showing ads based on specific sites visited
(such as showing automotive-related ads to someone who frequents automotive
sites).
You may chose to remove, disable, or selectively turn off our cookies or
third-party cookies in your browser settings, or by managing preferences

Cookies received with third party advertisements are collected by those
companies, and we do not have access to this information.
Personal Information
This Web site requests personal information when you join our mailing list,
forum, or fill out forms to submit to us. Any information collected that
personally identifies you or allows you to be personally contacted is done
so solely to maintain and service our mailing list or forum function or

seller, so they can respond directly to you. If you are selling a car on
our site, by submitting your ad information to us you agree to your contact
information being published on the Internet, so that interested parties
may contact you directly, according to your contact information, which
was provided by you on the online form you used to place your ad. If you
have made special arrangements with Automotive Mileposts to respond to
inquiries on your behalf, your contact information will not be published,
but may be given to interested parties inquiring about your car for sale,
as a means to close the sale.
